"content": "The Ministry developed this policy in collaboration with the African Population and Health Research Centre. The policy aims to streamline sanitation management in Kenya. Its objectives include expanding access to safe sanitation, improving public health outcomes, and reducing environmental pollution. It also addresses the long-standing gaps in governance, financing and infrastructure development related to sanitation. The constitutional basis for the policy lies in Article 43(1)(b) of the Constitution, which guarantees every person the right to accessible and adequate housing, as well as a reasonable standard of sanitation. Furthermore, paragraph 11(b) of Part II of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution assigns the function of sanitation services to the county governments under the devolved system. Sanitation has historically been neglected, which is why we are developing the National Sanitation Management Policy. The Committee observed that despite the constitutional and environmental imperatives for a sound legal regime to support the right to sanitation and devolved service delivery, the current legal and regulatory framework remains fragmented. Sanitation-related provisions are scattered across malleable laws, many of which treat sanitation only as a peripheral issue. Currently, a sanitation programme is underway under the Ministry of Education, focusing on building toilets in all public primary and secondary schools. There are also sanitation programmes in the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, which have their own policies. That is why there is need to have one national sanitation policy. There is no coherent legislative or regulatory framework that articulates the normative principles, institutional arrangements, and governance structures reflective of modern international, constitutional and policy development. This policy seeks to bridge those critical gaps."
